| NOTE
In this new edition the wording
has been revised and condensed,
chiefly with a view to rendering
the translation more pregnant.
Only one passage
(VI. Mansion, ch. v. 13)
has been substantially changed,
in conformity with an explanation
received from a high authority.
It is admittedly a very difficult passage
which appears to have been misunderstood
by nearly all translators;
but it is gratifying to notice
that the new French translation
by the Carmelite nuns of Anderlecht
agrees with our interpretation.
The editor is under an obligation
to that translation
for several interesting facts
embodied
in the Introduction and
in the notes to the text.
